Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is:  
     
       1. A supporting disk for supporting a rotor of an open-end spinning machine, comprising a hub ring and a supporting ring made of polymeric material secured to its outer circumference, wherein the hub ring ( 1 ) is formed as a composite part and is made of at least two different materials. 
     
     
       2. The supporting disk according to  claim 1 , wherein the hub ring ( 1 ) includes a metallic and a polymeric material which are connected to each other in a force-locking or a form-locking manner. 
     
     
       3. The supporting disk according to  claim 1 , wherein the hub ring ( 1 ) is formed by a disk made of metallic material ( 4 ) which is overlapped at least partially by at least one plastic element ( 5 ). 
     
     
       4. The supporting disk according to  claim 2 , wherein the hub ring ( 1 ) is formed by a disk made of metallic material ( 4 ) which is overlapped at least partially by at least one plastic element ( 5 ). 
     
     
       5. The supporting disk according to  claim 3 , wherein the disk is formed as an aluminum disk ( 4 ). 
     
     
       6. The supporting disk according to  claim 3 , wherein an outer circumference ( 6 ) of the plastic element ( 5 ) and an inner circumference ( 7 ) of the supporting ring ( 3 ) are connected to each other by force-locking or form-locking. 
     
     
       7. The supporting disk according to  claim 3 , wherein an outer circumference ( 6 ) of the plastic element ( 5 ) is furnished with at least one undercut ( 8 ) running around on the circumference side, into which at least one congruently formed projection ( 9 ) of the supporting ring engages. 
     
     
       8. The supporting disk according to  claim 5 , wherein the aluminum disk ( 4 ) is bordered by two flat end faces ( 10 ,  11 ). 
     
     
       9. The supporting disk according to  claim 5 , wherein the aluminum disk ( 4 ) is formed as a stamped part and the plastic element ( 5 ) is formed as an injection-molded part. 
     
     
       10. A supporting disk for supporting a rotor of an open-end spinning machine, comprising a hub ring and a supporting ring made of polymeric material secured to its outer circumference, wherein the hub ring ( 1 ) is formed as a composite part and is made of at least two different materials, the hub ring ( 1 ) is formed by a disk made of metallic material ( 4 ) which is overlapped at least partially by at least one plastic element ( 5 ) the disk is formed as an aluminum disk ( 4 ), and the aluminum disk ( 4 ) and the plastic element ( 5 ) have an essentially identical thermal expansion coefficient. 
     
     
       11. The supporting disk according to  claim 1 , wherein the supporting ring ( 3 ) has an essentially convex outer circumference ( 2 ), as seen in longitudinal cross section. 
     
     
       12. The supporting disk according to  claim 2 , wherein the supporting ring ( 3 ) has an essentially convex outer circumference ( 2 ), as seen in longitudinal cross section. 
     
     
       13. The supporting disk according to  claim 3 , wherein the supporting ring ( 3 ) has an essentially convex outer circumference ( 2 ), as seen in longitudinal cross section. 
     
     
       14. A supporting disk for supporting a rotor of an open-end spinning machine, comprising a hub ring and a supporting ring made of polymeric material secured to its outer circumference, wherein the hub ring ( 1 ) is formed as a composite part and is made of at least two different materials, the hub ring ( 1 ) is formed by a disk made of metallic material ( 4 ) which is overlapped at least partially by at least one plastic element ( 5 ) the disk is formed as an aluminum disk ( 4 ), and the aluminum disk ( 4 ) has a central opening ( 12 ) which is surrounded radially on the outside by first bores ( 14 ) uniformly distributed in the circumferential direction on a first reference circle ( 13 ), the first bores ( 14 ) directly surrounding the central opening contiguously in the radial direction, wherein through holes ( 17 ), uniformly distributed in the circumferential direction, are arranged on a second reference circle ( 15 ) in the region of the outer circumference ( 16 ) of the aluminum disk ( 14 ), second bores ( 19 ) being arranged in the radial direction essentially centrically, between the boundary ( 18 ) of the through holes ( 17 ) and the outer circumference ( 16 ) of the aluminum disk ( 4 ), and wherein the first bores ( 14 ) and the through holes ( 17 ) are each penetrated by the material of the plastic element and the second bores ( 19 ) are penetrated by the material of the supporting ring ( 3 ). 
     
     
       15. The supporting disk according to  claim 14  wherein the central opening ( 12 ) of the aluminum disk ( 4 ) is extended in the axial direction into the plastic element ( 5 ) on both sides. 
     
     
       16. A supporting disk for supporting a rotor of an open-end spinning machine, comprising: 
       a hub ring formed of a composite part made of at least two different materials, a first one of the different materials including at least one end face, and a second one of the different materials contacting the at least one end face of the first one of the different materials; and  
       a supporting ring made of polymeric material secured to an outer circumference of the hub ring.  
     
     
       17. The supporting disk according to  claim 16 , wherein the hub ring includes a metallic material and a polymeric material connected to each other in one of a force-locking manner and a form-locking manner.
